ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 549: Love Jolt Counter Part 2
「Huh? Ahh, you want to go as well, Saiga-san? Is there going to be a ShangriLa Frontier related booth, or something like that……?」
While continuing the conversation here, Rakuro started to operate his mobile terminal in a hurry, at this moment seemed to have been convinced by Rei’s words. For a moment out there, there was a moment of absolute silence…… It lasted only for a few seconds, but for Rei, it all seemed to last for hours, if not for eternity.
「But, you know, as far as I am concerned…… Yeah, I don’t really mind.」
At that moment, Rei felt as if this was the highlight of her entire life (as opposed to the other party in question here).
「However……」
「Huh?」
「At this rate, this thing almost seems like a date…… Are you really okay with that, Saiga-san?」
「Nhyuh!?」
And that follow-up question to that matter almost made it so that the highlight of Saiga Rei’s life almost grew threefold and imploded, breaking any possible limits of being excited that were possible for any living creature to feel at any given time.
「…… Nnnhhh! ………… Nnnnnnhhhhhh!!」
「Umm, Saiga-san? Are you…… feeling alright……?」
「Ah…… The difference in blushing here is so much different from the usual reaction! It almost feels as though she is about to die from happiness!」
「Huh? Say what now? What are you even talking about?」
「Oh, you know, nothing. Nothing at all. Now then, just let me kick back and enjoy the show while it lasts. I knew it, watching someone else play is the same level of amusing as playing yourself. Who would have guessed?」
Even though she was right here and TECHNICALLY she heard that conversation, at this point in time Rei was already acting as if she was not there. Her entire body was being swirled and shaken by the whirlpool of emotions that were difficult for her to describe, and she was feeling so elated right now that she could barely even keep her balance.
Honestly, for Rei it was already quite a shock that a gamer as hardcore as Hizutome Rakuro was even aware of what the word “dating” even meant. Or was the shock she was feeling right now caused by the fact that he happened to agree to this idea seemingly on the spot, without even putting any effort to think this through? …… However, no matter how shocked or happy Rei was because of that at the current moment, she had to summon up that mask of her usual cool and composed self, and smiled in the way she usually did.
「If you have no problem with it, then I do not have a problem, either.」
「I-Is that so? Then it’s all good, I think…… Besides, it will be time for me to start heading back now, so,」
「I am going to stay here a little longer. I need to talk to Iwamaki-san first about something.」
「Ah, I see. Well then, If you’ll excuse me for now……」
「Y-Yesh! See you around!」
Since then, a minute has passed.
「……………」
Then two minutes have passed.
「…… Ugh, kuh, FUGEH!!!」
「Alright! Alright! Great job, Rei-chan! Really well done there! Congratulations on enduring it for so long! Talk about a great victory for you! Tonight is going to be a night for celebrations!」
Iwamaki-san managed to catch Rei just in time before her knees finally gave up on her and she fell to the ground on the spot. His current gaze when he was looking at her was a mixture of both sympathy and mercy.
「W—W-What should I…… I…… WHAT SHOULD I WEAR……!?」
「It’s alright! Don’t worry about it for now! The important thing is that you have made progress! And this here Iwamaki-san is going to take care of everything, so don’t you worry about a thing!」
「H-Hizutome-kun……! I really…… with Hizutome-kun……!」
「Yes, I know, I know, Rei-chan! And to think I was sure that he only had shitty games for brains in that head of his! Yeah, yeah! It was unexpected! Even I could not hope for a better result!」
In the end, it took Rei almost an hour to recover from the state of shock she was in. Also, on that day Rock Roll was closed unusually early.
Also, about four hours later a certain someone’s poor stomach was surprised with the finest champagne one he had returned home, and the great suffering followed him right after that.

「Hmm~……」
「Well, that’s unusual. To see my Brother looking at something other than games-related articles. Ehh…… Huh? Could it be that you have finally awakened to fashion? Or do you want to work part-time to be able to afford it?」
「Nah, that’s not it. I’ll be going out with someone in a couple of days, so I need some clothes that are appropriate for the occasion. Besides, if I wanted to waste my money away, I know a couple of other ways to go about it.」
「Hmph…… Ah, here, you can have this. It’s the prosciutto that was distributed between the part-time workers at the place where I’m working now.」
「Prosciutto? As if, the ham Prosciutto……? Huh? Uncut? What the hell? This thing looks like a genuine log!」
「Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Apparently they were experimenting with a new kind of ham, but they made too much of it and they needed to get rid of it fast.」
「Dude, this thing looks as if it was at least fifteen kilos…… Where the hell are you working part-time again?」
This thing is almost the size and weight of a freaking brick! This is a blunt object class! I am pretty sure that you can kill someone with this if you were determined enough! What kind of a part-time job gives its part-time workers gifts like that? And how can I apply there? Also, on a side note, we still have those dried bonito flakes that Dad brought back as a souvenir the other day, right?
「Maybe I should also buy a proper mannequin just in case……?」
「Uwah, look at that! Someone is truly awakening to being fashionable here! But believe me, even if buying a mannequin seems like a good idea initially, it is not.」
「Yeah, I get it, but just…… Just for the heck of it, you know?」
Most of the members of the Hizutome household tend to be pretty indifferent towards fashion. Well, aside from my sister, that is. So for someone with zero fashion sense buying a mannequin seems like a peak performance fashion-wise. Or at the very least it’s something that cannot possibly be overlooked.
Then my sister reaches out towards my mobile terminal and she starts to operate it quickly. Then she took out her own mobile terminal and started to operate the two of them at the same time.
「Hmm, since you are so skinny, a black is going to be a good choice…… But it is going to be no good if the top is also black…… Hey, Brother? Do you have any special requests when it comes to coats?」
「Inverness Coat, thank you very much.」
「You said that only because you remembered the name, because it sounds cool in your head. Rejected. How about a chester coat instead?」」
What is that? Sounds cool. I want it.
「Alright, this should be more or less fine.」
「Ooohhh, thank you very…… Wait, just how much is that going to cost?」
「Oh, silly Brother. When it comes to fashion, there is no such thing as too much of a budget you can spend.」
「Well, please keep in mind that my wallet might get butchered in the process, dear Sister.」
「Pleasure doing business with you!」
Whoa there, what the fuck!? Shoes!? Muffler!? I don’t need any of that shit!
